first of all to the fact that the play APP

AT the Bijou the Madison Square success

favorable circumstances; and TIE patrons

Fenwck Armstrong is strong and effect
i've as DuHstan, the old miller; Nellie
Pierce makes the character OF HdzeS one
that interests and arouses sympathy from
the young girls entrance upon the stage
until the close of the play; while Bertha
Livingston as Dolly Dutt0H, H. Tansey as

"Around the World"
John Thompson, the well-known form
er hero of ION Hand" appears at Mozart
Academy tonight in his musical extraya-
ganza, Around the World
OF this performance the Philadelphia
Press says:
"The musical extravaganza, Around
the World, may be classified as a dra-
matte gem. The performance is remark
ably pure in tone; musical, both instru-
mental and.vOcal. The characters are all
natural, being taken from every day life;
the artists are experienced and finished.
There is no play like it on the stage in
construction, plot, and purposes, and the
entire performance is as successful as 1t
is original"
Mr.. Thompson is well supported by
Misses Nagle and Thompson, and a select
parlor entertainment may be expected.
1.-THE Little Tycoon"
Lent.the Indictment night, and an opera
at Mozart Hall prevented a crowded
house at the Theatre last night. There
was, however, large attendance, all
things considered.
All that there was good in it was
very well brought out last night. The
audience heartily applauded the leading
features. The scenery is specially worthy
of commentator. The local hits were
much enjoyed and the choruses were very
good
Misses Dietrich, Nicholson, and Arnold,
Mr.. Campbell, Mr.. Dunbar, Mr.. Haney,
Mr.. Darcy, and others were eacored, and
the march of L0rd D0lplin had to be given
three times. The orchestral work was
well executed, and for light operate
performance it was very pleasant one.
One thing can be said, there is nothing
Frenchy or offensive about it, and every
member of the cast seemed to study to
please The opera will be repeated to-
night and it is hoped to crowded house.
"The Barber of Bath"
Neither Lent or the bad weather had
any perceptibe effect on the Mozart Mu-
sicale last night. The audience was the
largest since the appearance OF the Iyro-
lean Warblers.
Miss Edna Grey sang a fine selection
and was raptuously applauded. BY
request of Governor Lee, Reinhardts
Indian War Dance" WAS repeated and
received an ovation. The septette and
other orchestral number were both well
received.
The musicale closed with the opera,
"The Barber Of Bath" with characters
by Miss Grey, and Messrs. Walter Mer-
Ger. Watkins Noryell, and W II. Sher
vim. Each part was well sustained and
all were heartily cheered. Mr. NoryelPs
singing of "The Awful Little Scrub
was decided hit, and the entire musicale
was an enjoyable one.
